This has been shelved for the time being which will at least allow time to create a better defense of N reg in Europe rather than as said EASA trying to slip this in on the sly.
One thing that is apparent is that regulating for regulatings sake does not equal improved safety which should be the basis of all aviation regulations.
It is not just N reg which is threatened by EASA but anyone in European aviation who are having to pay for this self indulgent group.
If it aint broke dont fix it but if EASA do not create something to fix how do they justify their own employment and there lies the problem we all end up paying for their expensive meddling N reg and JAA aviation.
